Penguin couple pose for photograph

Just as I read of one amusing animal story, along comes another! This one features a bird everyone loves - the penguin. Or rather two penguins, who to our eyes look for all the world as though they deliberately posed for the picture accompanying the article. Their behaviour prior to the photograph being taken makes the subsequent snap all the more hilarious. Once again it shows how endearing we find these funny little animals and the bizarre way in which our minds imprint human characteristics onto other creatures.

About Me

A fan of all things vintage (say, roughly, the period 1875-1950 - but
particularly the '20s and '30s), including steam/dieselpunk,
retro-futurism, motor cars, aeroplanes, steam locomotives, fashion,
jazz, film and culture. Just looking to brighten people's days with the
odd jolly story. Pip-pip!
